Rebirth of the farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 13 Douhua Wants to Marry

Her trouser legs were wet, and she shivered with the cold when the wind blew.The clothes could not be washed anymore, so she returned home with the clothes she had recovered.

Sanchun saw her embarrassed appearance and asked, she only said that she slipped and fell into the river.She changed into dry clothes, and went out again with a basin, but this time she went to Douhua's house secretly.

Before he could reach her door, he heard Dou Hua Niang cursing in a rough voice.Meng Duo hid aside, and after a while, Dou Hua Niang had enough scolding.

"You pick beans honestly at home, and you are not allowed to eat until my mother comes back!" Dou Hua Niang came out and locked the door from the outside, and then pushed a wheelbarrow to sell tofu.

Meng Duo came to the door, patted the door lightly and said, "Douhua, how are you? Did your mother beat you hard?"

"Xiaoduo? I'm fine, you don't have to worry. My mother has that temper, I'm used to it." Douhua dropped the clerk in her hand and ran to the door, holding the crack of the door and saying, "There is something more important right now, you must Help me!"

What's more important?Hearing her nervous tone, Meng Duo couldn't help feeling nervous.After hearing her words, my heart flickered.

It turned out that Mr. Wang in the town planned to take a concubine. Douhua Niang heard that she was moved and took the initiative to find someone to find out the news.

That Mr. Wang is over 60 this year, because the big house in the family can't give birth to a son, so he takes concubines one after another.But the number of women in the family gradually increased, but half of the sons were not born.He asked Mr. Feng Shui to look, moved the ancestral grave, said that taking concubines this year would definitely give birth to a fat boy, and said that his son would fall to the west.

Master Wang was ecstatic when he heard this, so he sent someone to look for it to the west, and Chenjia Village was to the west of the town.

Meng Duo couldn't help frowning when he heard Dou Hua's words, and his heart flickered for a while.Let alone how old Mr. Wang is, and how domineering Mrs. Wang is, just the name of this little concubine is enough.

The concubine's room of a rich family looked at the scenery, but in fact they were not as good as the shameless girl.Serving in front of the big house tremblingly, the deed of prostitution is held in his hand, killing, killing, and buying and selling are all at the mistress's discretion.

The meaning of the Wang family's buying a concubine is very clear. It would be fine if they could give birth to a son, otherwise...

Moreover, Douhua Niang took the initiative to find someone to send her daughter to be a concubine, obviously disregarding her own daughter's life and death, just trying to sell her for money.It is really outrageous that there is such a money-grubbing mother!
"Don't be in a hurry." Meng Duo hurriedly comforted, "The Wang family doesn't want it, and your mother can't find anyone."

"How can I not be in a hurry? I heard my mother's words are inseparable. Wang Po took my horoscope and said that there is a reply today. I don't want to be a concubine, I..." Dou Hua was anxious Wandering around the house, "Go back and ask your uncle, I... I..." She is a girl's family anyway, so she really can't say it.

How could Meng Duo not understand what she meant, but she dared not promise her uncle.Moreover, Dou Hua Niang doesn't like to see her uncle, even if the two of them are in the same heart, it is difficult to be together.

"After all, you are the meat that fell from your mother. She always cares about your feelings. You can tell your mother that if you marry an ordinary family, you can help to clean up the house. If you enter a high-ranking family, it is just a hammer Buy and sell. I’ll discuss it with my uncle when I go back, and see if I can think of a way.”

"My mother doesn't even listen to my father, she only sees Erbao alone. She made up her mind to exchange me for silver so that she can call Erbao a daughter-in-law, and no one cares about my life or death!" Douhua cried bitterly, "Right now I only You can count on Brother Meng, you go back and tell him what I said. I will wait for him!"

Meng Duo comforted her in a soft voice, and when she saw her mother coming back from a distance, she hurried away.

Back home, Meng Duo was in a trance.As soon as the sun set, Meng Da came in with two hares and a happy face.

"Today's harvest is not small, and I will go to the mountains tomorrow, and I will sell it in the town the day after tomorrow." He carried the rabbit to the woodshed and hung it up. "This fur is quite neat, and it can be sold for at least ten yuan!"

Meng Duo could hear clearly outside the door, but she couldn't be happy at all.The whole family had dinner together. Seeing that she was depressed, Meng Da took a bite of his meal and asked Sanchun, "You and Siya didn't cause any trouble at home, did they?"

"No, the second sister-in-law went to wash clothes and fell into the river." Sanchun looked at Meng Da's face and replied.

Meng Da frowned slightly when he heard this, Meng Duo hurriedly said that he slipped and fell in, but his pants were wet, so it was fine.

Seeing her flickering eyes, Meng Da hesitated to speak.The night in early winter came very quickly, and no one could be seen after eating.Meng Duo used the moonlight to do some work for a while, but his eyes were sore that he couldn't see the light, so he had to stop.

"Uncle, I have something to tell you." Seeing Siya sleeping soundly, and Sanchun's snoring coming from the curtain, she said softly.

Meng Da hadn't slept all this time, and sat up when he heard this, "Did something happen?"

"Yes." She agreed, "Douhua's mother will give her to Mr. Wang in the town as a concubine!"

Meng Da frowned when he heard this, and remained silent for a long while.

Meng Duo bit his lip, and said: "Douhua's life is hard, her father doesn't love her mother, she is only 16 years old, Mr. Wang is going to be her grandfather soon, what a crime! If someone goes to her house to propose a marriage...Uncle, you I have also reached the age of marrying a wife, or..."

"Nonsense!" Meng Da yelled suddenly, scaring Meng Duo too much to speak.In her memory, the uncle had never lost his temper, and it seemed that he was really irritated today.

As if feeling that Meng Duo was frightened, Meng Dashen took a deep breath and slowed down his tone, "Our family can't even eat, so why talk about marrying a daughter-in-law. Besides, the second younger brother has just left, and he is anxious to start a family without being the eldest brother's heel. The truth! I also felt uncomfortable hearing about Douhua, but there is really nothing I can do..."

"Uncle, there are three ways to be unfilial and to have no descendants is the biggest. Our family doesn't pay attention to red tape. If the second brother knows about it, I would like you to marry a wife as soon as possible, so as to continue the incense for the Meng family." Meng Duo interrupted him, "Douhua She is not a person who hates the poor and loves the rich, she is willing to eat chaff and vegetables! Life is made by people, as long as there are people around, nothing is a problem. Uncle, there is no sister-in-law in this house, so it is really inconvenient to go in and out. Rare Dou Hua knows everything, and he doesn't dislike our poor family, so don't hesitate any longer."

"Maybe she doesn't dislike her, but what about her mother? Who is willing to talk to us?" Meng Da said softly, "Go to sleep, and I'll think about it. Douhua is a good girl, she should live a good life."

Meng Duo woke up the next day and found that Meng Da was not in the house.After she finished cooking, she stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked around for a long time before seeing Meng Da's figure.

"Xiao Qiang agreed to go to Douhua's house to propose marriage. They are about the same age. Xiao Qiang is a down-to-earth person. This marriage is very good." He said with a face full of relief.

After hearing this, Meng Duo recalled in his mind, vaguely remembering that there was such a person.His parents died early, leaving behind three big tile-roofed houses and more than ten acres of land, which is a bit poor for a capable person.He is not tall, has a pockmarked face, and can't flatter people when he sees people, but he is good at living.
